HYDROCARBON DEVICE FOR BURNING OFF PAINT.

! SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,474, dated May 6, 1890. Application filed July 21, 1886. Serial No. 208,688. (No model.)

To ail whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN P. HAYES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon Devices for Burning Off Paint, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hydrocarbon breamer for burning off paint embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a like view with the shield or tube for the burner removed. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the shield on line 1 1, Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a central longitudinal section of the burner drawn to an enlarged scale.

My invention has relation to hydrocarbon breamers for painters use; and it has for its object simplicity of construction and arrange ment of parts for increasing the efficiency and durability of the breamer and to adapt it to be handled for any length of time with ease and without unnecessarily tiring the wrist of the person using it.

My invention accordingly consists of the combination, construction, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, A represents the oil-reservoir, provided with an oil-tube B, having cut-off b. The latter leads out of the reservoir near the rear side of the same and extends above and across the reservoir, at which part it is provided with a wooden sleeve or handle b. This pipe or tubeB terminates in a vaporburner 0, between which and the tube 13 and suitably located upon the latter adjacent to the burner is a cup or disk D, for the reception of oil,wl1ich is ignited to start the initial vaporization of oil for the burner, as is usual in hydrocarbon-burners of the form described.

The burner consists of a triangular frame, as shown, the base 0 of which aligns, crapproximately aligns, with the end 19 of tube 13, and is preferably vertically located, as illustrated, and has a central jet or flame opening 0, which is closed and opened by suitably adjusting the needle-valve 0 The long sides 0 c of the burner-frame are in front of the base 0. The passage-way through the retortframe 0 c is by way of vertical passage d, leading from pipe B part way up the base 0 of said frame, which passage or channel d communicates with the passage-ways or channels d in the sides a and thence, by way of the passage-way or channel (1 in the upper part of the base 0, to the plug and jet-openings. The channelsd and channel 61 communicate with openings (Z d", respectively, at the apex of the sides 0 c and at the top of the base a, which openings are closed by screw or other removable plugs e, which are provided for gaining access to channels d (P, for inserting the usual rod or other packing in said channels and for cleansing or for other desired purposes. The triangular form of retort described provides two long sides 0 c in front of the jet-tube c, which connects the bases of the sides 0 c and they are heated by the flame to vaporize the oil therein. Thus the sides 0 0 form the retort in which the oil is vaporized. As this retort is in advance of the jet-tube, the full benefit of the heat from the jet or flame is obtained for generating a quick and constant supply of gas or vaporized oil for the burner.

The burner C is surrounded or inclosed in a shield or tube F, which is open at both ends, as shown more plainly by dotted lines, Fig. 2, and is loosely but firmly held upon the burner by means of the shouldered pins g, projecting from the sides of the base a, passing through openings f in the tube or shield at or near its rear end, and by resting at its front end upon the pins g, projecting from the apex of the sides 0 c (Shown more plainly in Fig. 3.) The pins g are preferably used, so as not to obstruct the passage of the flame from or through the tube or shield, and

the latter being open at its rear end the necessary supply of air for the jet or flame is provided. The pins g are of such length and the openings f in the tube are of such diameter that the tube is attachable to and detachable from said pins by springing the openings onto and off of said pins. The tapering plug c has the usual jam-nut h,if desired, or it may be otherwise constructed, as deemed essential.

A paint burning device constructed as above described, it will be noted, is of a compact formand can be easily manipulated to accomplish speedy results. The retort is in advance of the jet or flame, and is therefore subjected to the intense heat of the flame to maintain the vaporization of the oil, and at the same time the retort is of such shape that it does not interfere with or obstruct the flame in accomplishing the Work desired.

By providing the tortuous or triangularlyarranged channels cl (P, for the passage of the oil and vapors before reaching the jetopening 0', the oil is thoroughly vaporized before it arrives at the jet or flame.

In practice the reservoirA is provided with the usual or desired form of pump a, with or Without an air-cocka, for the customary purpo e In some cases, if desired, the petcock a may bedispensed with.

In using the term hydrocarbon oil I do not limit myself to any particular grade. It may-include gasoline, naphtha, or other suitable material.

The arrangement of the handle 1) directly over the oil-reservoir brings the weight of the latter inline with the handle, and such weight doesnot strain or tire the Wrist of the person handling the implement, as is the case when the handle is to one side of the reservoir.

What I claim is 1. In a breamer, the combination of a fluidreservoir, a pipe B, having a vertical section depending into the reservoir at the outer end of its longitudinal central line and a horizontal section extending across the top of and beyond. the opposite end of the reservoir, a burner O at the free end of said horizontal section of pipe B, and a handle on said horizontal pipe-section between said burner and the vertical pipe-section, said handle extending partly across the top of the reservoir and beyond it toward the burner, whereby the weight of the breamer is balanced for use,

substantially as set forth.

2. In abreamer, the combination of a burner 0, consisting of a base 0, having passages 01 d opening c, screw-plug c and sides c 0 tapering from the endsof the base toward a common point and having passages 61' (1 connected together at one end and respectivelycommunicatin g with passages dand d atthe other end, outside shouldered pinsgat the base of said burner,other pins g at the tapering end of the burner, and a tubular shield F, having openings f, sprung upon the shoulderedpins g, substantially as set forth.

3. The burner C, having at one end shoul- JOHN P. HAYES.
